Hi Gary,   We’re thinking of our friends and colleagues in Utah this week as the state faces multiple wildfires, poor air quality, and heightened wildfire conditions everywhere. It’s a reminder why our MT2030 wildfire series is so timely – we kicked it off this week with a great webinar on Tuesday and it continues with two more sessions in July.   We’ll also have a great mainstage session at our MT2030 Summit this Fall – we hope to see you there.  Much more below including a new climate comms presentation and a great new documentary streaming about climate solutions.    - The Mountain Towns 2030 Team  MT2030 Events Upcoming Webinar Series We just had our first webinar in our three-part Mountain Wildfire Action Series this week - a highly attended and relevant session focusing on prevention and preparedness.  Watch the recording here.   Please join us for the next two upcoming free webinars in the Wildfire Action Series:   Mountain Wildfire Action Series: Session 2 "Innovation & Policy Solutions in Mountain Towns" July 14th 11:00am MT REGISTER FOR WEBINAR #2 Mountain Wildfire Action Series: Session 3 "The Role of Ski Resorts & Utilities" July 28th 11:00am MT REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR #3 Missed our webinar last week:  Implementing Innovative Sustainable Building Design through Collaboration?   We’ve got you covered with this recap,  and you can watch the entire webinar here. Reach out if we can help connect you to any of the webinar speakers.
